Children : Do Re Mi
Maria : Do Re Mi The first three notes just happen to be Do Re Mi
Children : Do Re Mi
Maria : Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Oh, let's see if I can make it easier... mmmm...
Chorus : Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden sun Me, a name I call myself Far, a long, long way to run Sew, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow So Tea, a drink with jam and bread And that will bring us back to Do oh oh oh
Maria and children : (Repeat chorus twice)
Maria : Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do, So Do Now, children, Do Re Mi Fa So and so on are only the tools we use to build a song. Once you have these notes in your heads, you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up. Like this... So Do La Fa Mi Do Re Can you do that?
Children : So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Maria : So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Children : So Do La Ti Do Re Do Good...
Brigitta : But it doesn't mean anything
Maria : So we put in words One word for every note, like this: When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything
Together : Maria and children When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything
Children : Do Mi Mi, Mi So So, Re Fa Fa, La Ti Ti (repeat this 4 times while Maria is singing:)
Maria : When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything
Maria : Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Ti Do
Children : So Do La Fa Mi Do Re So Do La Fa La So Fa Mi Re Ti Do... So Do
